PANEL 21 /// POPULISM, DEMAGOGUERY
AND RHETORIC IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
CONVENORS: GIUSEPPE BALLACCI (CEPS, UMINHO) AND ROB GOODMAN (TORONTO METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY)
All inquiries about the panel should be sent to gballacci@elach.uminho.pt
This panel is part of the research project "Populism, Demagoguery and Rhetoric in Historical Perspective ", PDRHP, funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (2022.05060.PTDC).
While populism is one of the most discussed topics in political theory, some key questions remain unaddressed: To what extent is populism a distinctively modern phenomenon? To what extent does it have roots in earlier periods of history? How can studying populism in the light of the history of political thought help us to understand its nature? The research project PDRHP aims to answer these questions in order to enrich the debate on populism by locating its theorization in an historical perspective.
The programme of the panel includes a general presentation of the project by the team members - Giuseppe Ballacci, P.I. (CEPS, UMinho), Rob Goodman, Co-P.I. (Toronto Metropolitan), Alessandro Mulieri (UPenn & Ca' Foscari), David Ragazzoni (Columbia), Tae-Yeoun Keum (California, Santa Barbara) and Nadia Urbinati, consultant (Columbia) -, followed by the presentation of two papers on Machiavelli and populism, by Alessandro Mulieri, and Giovanni Damele & Inês Pinheiro (Universidade Nova de Lisboa).
